Assume you are quoting a different ranking system. Did UAB coincidentally rank 147 in both or are you just repeating the US News global ranking?

clt says a realistic global ranking is unpossible.

Right, because foreign schools don't even play real football.

UAB is an average med school with a crappy commuter school attached

Nobody goes there on purpose.

My mom went to UAB hospital on purpose, but that was because my sister was due.

Completely bogus list. No one should trust US News and World Report. People know how to rig these ratings and pay to do so.

I'd trust Niche over US News and World Report for rankings.

UAB coming to our board to talk smack. Really?

There were 19,000 universities evaluated to come up with that list of 2000. Our lowest scoring university is in the top 10% in the world. Our universities are fine by world standards. No shame here.

Knowing USNews used peers as a metric, Texas Tech once claimed 55 schools were its peers. 27 of them were AAU members.
